To tackle concerns regarding data security, it is important to implement robust protective measures, such as utilizing sophisticated encryption techniques to secure data and limiting access to confidential information. Regularly performing security audits and vulnerability assessments can help in pinpointing potential weaknesses. By establishing a thorough data privacy policy that aligns with legal requirements, clients can be reassured of your dedication to maintaining confidentiality. Additionally, improving transparency about security protocols and providing clients with the ability to control or review their data can further enhance their confidence.

Building a trust relationship is crucial. Referring to the law regarding personal data sharing is also very important. When making clear to a customer that the company follows the law regarding this process is a step towards this direction

To assure clients about electronic case data security, I focus on clear communication and robust measures. I explain the safeguards in place, like encryption, secure access controls, and compliance with standards such as GDPR or CCPA. I also provide secure client portals for safe access and share regular updates on data handling and system enhancements. Additionally, I educate clients on cyber threats and steps they can take to protect their information. Transparency and proactive efforts build trust and demonstrate my commitment to their confidentiality

Here’s the comfort for your customers - you have a robust de-identification tool ready to do the heavy lifting. Think of multiple methods—suppression, randomization, generalization, perturbation, masking, hashing, encryption—and compatibility with all the data types you work with, from free text and PDFs to HL7 and CCDA. And don’t stop there—ask the right questions: Can you recover any data lost during the process if needed? Is there audit reporting to keep track of it all? And most importantly, know your use cases inside and out so you can align with customer needs and streamline your process. De-identification done right opens the door to innovation without compromising compliance. 🚀

Access control (authorization required) Strong data encoding NDA’s ( accountability) Extremely secured infrastructure Minimize Data collection Incidence response action plans Regular meeting and monitoring with staff Monitor compliance with any and all regulations Beware of any third party breach/ if so Keep consistent contact with clients

No matter what anyone says, I print them and store them under lock and keys. It's rather "old school," but it's the only way to remove the data and the electronic footprints left on telephone and telvisits. Think of it as file scrubbing, meanwhile the records either printed or recorded are safe and sound in a locking cabinet or physical storage, while none of the data remains on any of your devices, so the only information that remains is simple, mundane contact information.

Allowing preferred secure access for the clients data, for more security we can allow application level security and access for data flow. also contribute in encrypting data flow for clients, this will build confidentiality, more over HIPPA compliances follow above tracking and security.

To keep client information safe, it's important to understand what confidentiality means and its limits. This includes knowing when it’s okay to share information and making sure clients are aware of how their data will be used. Always talk openly with clients about these rules and get their permission before handling their information

My clients have names when I am sitting with them and in the official agency software only. All other times the are their #. Communications, reports, open air conversations.

One thing I’ve found helpful is being explanatory yet slightly vague, particularly while dealing with vulnerable (SMI/SUD/DD) populations as a case manager. Not only is their treatment personalized, information distribution is strictly based upon ROIs the client fills out. Information they do not want going out, WILL NOT be sent out by me. Anyone they don’t want information distributed to, WILL NOT even get a confirmation that client is under my management. Encrypted servers, programs, and email systems protect their data from nefarious entities. If they can understand how social engineering may affect PHI security, explain phishing and poor training by companies leading to PHI vulnerabilities. Typically, through spoofed email addresses.
